UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

OIL-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jnrrnnson D. PACE, citizen of the United States,residing at Winneld, in the parish of lVinn and State of Louisiana, haveinvented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to oil burners.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a burner which isadapted to be employed in connection with stoves, tire places, or thelike.

Another obj eet of the invention is to provide a burner which isextremely simple in construction, etiieient in operation and cheap tomanufacture.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in theconstruction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described,illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claimhereto appended; it being understood that vari ous changes in the form,proportion, and size, within the scope of the claim, may be resorted towithout departing :from the spirit or sacriicing any of the advantagesof the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a sectional view of a stove, showing theburner in elevation and arranged therein. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsectional view of the burner, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional viewof the same.

Like reference numerals designate corresponding parts in all the figuresof the drawing.

Referring to the drawing, a stove l is shown, and may be of any suitabletype. Arranged within the fire-box 5 thereof, is an oil-burner which isdesignated as a whole by the numeral 6. This burner comprises anopen-ended pipe 7 forming the combustion chamber therefor and isprovided with a plurality of radially extending perforations 8 in thesides and top, the bottom 9 of the pipe, however, being solid.

An oil tank 10 is suitably supported above the burner, and is connectedto said burner by an oil supply pipe 11. A globe valve 12 of anysuitable type is arranged in this pi e for controlling the supply of oilto tlie burner. The outlet end of the pipe 11 is arranged below theburner, and an ordinary pipe elbow 13 is threaded onto the said end theother end 1 4 ot the elbow being arrange Specification of LettersPatent.

directly below an opening 15 which is centrally located in the bottom t)of the combustion chamber.

The invention further comprises a tee 16 having a length considerablyless than the length of the combustion chamber and a smaller diameterthan that of the said chamber. The tee is centrally arranged within andin longitudinal alinement with the said chamber, and is connected to theend 14; of the pipe elbow 13 by means of an exteriorly threaded nipple19. This nipple is passed through the opening 15 of the combustionchamber. Thus, it will be seen that the tee 16 and the elbow 13 will berespectively clamped by means of the nipple against the inner and outersurfaces of the bottom 9 of the said chamber, and thereby securelyretain the said nipple and chamber in their proper relation.

Respectively threaded into each end of the tee, are plugs 17-17 havinglongitudinal passages 18-18 centrally formed therein, which communicatewith the interior of the tee and with each end of the combustion chambertoward which they extend.

In practice, to start the burner, the valve 12 is opened, therebypermitting oil to flow out from the tee through the passages 18-18, anddrop onto the bottom 9 of the combustion chamber. This oil is ignited byany suitable means, and the flames will guickly heat the pipe G. Theheat radiating rom the pipe wil vaporize the oil, and consequently thegas will pass out through the perforations 8 and then become ignited.

Furthermore, it will be noted that the tee will bc always illed withoil, and the heat from the combustion chamber will act upon the oil insuch a. manner as to cause it to readily flow out through the passages15S- 18.

What I claim is z# An oil burner comprising in combination, a combustionchamber formed by an open ended perforated pipe having a solid bottom,said bottom having a centrally arran ed opening, a tee centrally andlongitudinally arranged within the comlmstiou chamber, plugsrespectively arranged iu each end of the tee and respectively providedwith central longitudinal passages communicating with each end of thesaid chamber and the interior of the tee, an oil supply pipe having itsdischarge cnd arlOl) ranged directly below the opening in the Intestimony, that I claim the foregoing bottom of the combustion chamber,un@ a as my own, I have hereo affixed my signanipple arranged Within thesaid opening ture in the presence of two Witnesses.
